Make Sure To Use The Correct 4 Post Lift

There are several jacking devices on the market designed to raise vehicles by engaging with the wheels. These devices resemble small mobile column lifts but are not manufactured to the same standards as scissor lifts, mobile column lifts, or 2 or 4 post lifts. As a result, they lack the comprehensive safety features and rigorous checks that ensure the security of the user, vehicle, and property.

When Is A 4 Post Lift Not A Lift?

When using jacks instead of a 2 or 4 post lift, axle stands should always be placed under the vehicle before commencing any work on or under it. Working on a vehicle that is not properly supported is not only dangerous but can also cause significant damage to the vehicle or surroundings if it falls or moves. Proper lifting equipment includes safety features such as stop blocks, rubber lift pads, and barriers to create a safe and secure working environment.

Using a jack or lift improperly is a surefire way to cause an accident or damage the vehicle. Safety standards are in place to protect you and those around you. Ignoring these standards while working in a garage puts everyone at risk. Always read the manual, perform the necessary safety checks, and use the machinery correctly and safely for optimal use before, during, and after working on the vehicle.
